Third Week of Advent

More greetings came in this week, each one special because of relationships with the senders.

Last week of school before Christmas break was filled with special activities for Rebecca and probably for the other grands as well, but she's the only one we heard from. Monday was Christmas outfit day.

Tuesday was Mix and Match day. It was also one of the days that Kayla works at the library. I had offered to pick up Rebecca after school on those days, to spend time here and do things together.

Among other things, we went for a walk up the lane with the trash bin for Wednesday pick-up and back through the woods.

We do a variety of activities because the six-year-old attention span is not long. In fact, completing this puzzle took two or three sessions. 

Wednesday morning we awoke to 4" of snow, not 1" to 3" forecasted. So beautiful!

The birds seem to enjoy the newness.

Kalani experienced snow for the first time!

Debby, my consuegra, and I had another fun visit. This time we enjoyed watching some of Stephan's cooking shows The Casual Chef Presents and then shared a lunch of Michael's lentil soup and homemade bread!

Friday, Rebecca and I made Thin-Mint Chocolate No-Bake Cookies which Michael raves about.

Saturday, we attended the wedding of a former robotics student. In these different times the couple had to change their plans four times! We were invited, uninvited, and then re-invited when others on their list opted out. We felt very honored to enjoy the entire celebration in person.

Moriah was also there, and in our "family" bubble. I took this picture.

And then she took this one:

In keeping with the times, our Christmas stockings are also social distancing in family groupings.  ;-) 

What adjustments are you making this Christmas?
